    Gráficos magníficos, jogabilidade muito foda e história sensacional e imersiva. Quem jogou o jogo de mente aberta, com certeza conseguiu sentir tudo que a história do game proporciona. Jamais senti o que senti jogando esse jogo em nenhum outro game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Excellent work when talking about game engine, game play, the acting, etc... However... they destroyed the fine story they previously created with the last of us and the DLC.

    Joel shouldn’t be tortured and killed that way. And we shouldn’t have to play with the person who did it. ( I don’t really care about the collateral damage he did - just felt like watching Austin Powers when they turned to show the friends and family of the bad guy who was killed by Austin. The point is, who cares about the bad guys? **** them. Same to Abby and her dad. And I had to play half the game with that **** only to see she going away alive in the end. **** it. Someone was even sadistic to make Ellie lose fingers and made you try to play the guitar at the end. Seriously. Bad story. Totally disappointed.    … Expand

    Despite the plot holes the game is enjoyable and a good experience that upgradres all the old mechanics making them more fun to play. Also, great spaces, IA and general design

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II had tremendous potential but the end product feels like it shot itself in the foot and at times, feels subversive. What made the first game great was seeing Joel and Ellie's develop a father-daughter relationship. They persevered through rocky times and basked in short, heartwarming moments before reaching an ultimately bittersweet ending.

    The Last of Us II takes what made the first story great and throws it out the window. While dark, brutal moments are expected in a post-apocalyptic type environment, killing off Joel so early and in such a gruesome manner just set up the game for disappointment. Then making the player play as Joel's killer and for an extended duration is just rubbing salt in the wound.

    The gameplay, while solid and with some satisfying melee, isn't enough to make up for the lack of interest that sets in after Joel's death and only compounds when switching to Abby.

    I see what the director and writer were going for and their desire to do something a bit daring with the story is commendable. However, the execution just falls flat on its face. Thez wanted a divisive game and it certainly succeedes on that front.    … Expand

    While I did respect the gameplay, and this is a major graphical improvement, the story is just not great. This game is unsatisfying, depressing, and above all not what anyone wanted. Naughty dog has destroyed their own magnum opus, spat in it's face, and false advertised it to be something entirely different. It's no wonder this game got leaked, it almost feels like an intentional disaster.

A horrible end to a beloved character, being forced to play as a character you hate, violence as pornography, and it all being done in the now-common vein of “subverting expectations”. With such stupid narrative choices one can only assume the writers never read a book in their lives. What a sad waste of what could have been a brilliant series.… Expand

    It made me think about the gift of life and that hate only brings emptiness. It's just amazing.

    From love to hate, the most intense feelings that a human being experiences in this masterpiece for the fact of transmitting many found emitions and teaches us that revenge rots you inside, transforms you into an animal that only hunts for what it does and shows us that there are no heroes or villains we are only people in extreme circumstances and we make selfish decisions for our well-being Wow

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A massive disappointment, a technical masterpiece with few good moments and an awesome boss fight ultimately messed up by terrible decisions and story. Culminating in an unsatisfying ending. They make you play as the villain to make you root for her, but it all falls flat and you just don’t care about her. The villain’s character model is ridiculous and the game makes you fight Ellie as her expecting you to hve fun while doing it. They wanted us to be frustrated by a long game with moments that make you just tear up in agony, good job. I loved the original game, the chemistry between Joel and Ellie and the moral dilemmas it had, but this new game is as if it were written by someone who hates the first game. Nice job Naught, I won’t trust you again and will definitely never buy a game that has anything to do with Neil Druckman. Sold my copy of the game for 90% of the price that I originally paid. Don’t regret plying the game, but boy it was a nightmare.… Expand

    I really had mixed feelings when I played the game, I understand people hating on the story, (the first big spoiler, the second half of the game and the ending), but you have to put yourself in the position of the characters to understand their motivations.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Le doy un 4 por la historia que en juego donde no importe mucho no tendria que afectar tanto pero estamos hablando de THE LAST OF US la historia cuenta como 50% por lo que te compras el juego
    La verdad es una decepcion y no hablo ellie y dina o de lev eso creo que naughty dog lo hizo genial la verdad hablo de su horrendo final
    Los guionistas destruyeron a todos los personajes que amamos tommy, ellie y joel el juego cae abruptamente cuando abby llega al teatro y te hacen pelear contra ellie EN QUE BASURA ESTABAN PENSANDO NAUGHTY DOG???
    Quieren que peleamos con un personaje que amamos y sentimos lo que ella y queremos vengarnos con ella pero noooo te hacemos llevar a abby para que venzas a ellie wtf? No puedes sentir empatia por abby la puedes entender eso es cierto pero empatizar? Por supuesto que no tu sabes por que yo joel hizo lo que hizo y porque como dijo al final lo volveria hacer perdio a sarah a su HIJA EN SUS BRAZOS mataron a TESS no podia perder a ellie simplemente no podia y menos si el podia hacer algo y quieren que sintamos empatia por el padre de abby y abby? Cuando este NISIQUIERA PUDO ABMITIR QUE DARIA A SU HIJA SU ESTA FUERA INMUNE ESO ES SER HIPOCRITA aparte que nisiquiera dejaron decidir a ellie o preguntarle si es lo que queria nisiquiera queria decirle a joel!!!! Cuando cruzo todo el estupido pais para llevarla ESE ES EL PERSONAJE POR EL QUE QUIERES QUE SIENTE EMPATIA NAUGHTY DOG????
    Y LA PELEA FINAL ES QUE ES PARA LLORAR DE DECEPCION
    Hacen que ellie perdone a abby es que WTF
    Yo tengo un principio que es cuando planteas un objectivo fijo al principio de una historia y este objectivo es el que la engloba ESTE SE TIENE QUE CUMPLIR!!! PORQUE ES LO QUE ME ESTA VENDIENDO LA HISTORIA
    y el final de ellie intetando tocar la guitarra sin poder por que le faltan dedos es que puedes destruir mas a un personaje ?? Enserio ??!?!?!
    Mataste a joel
    Le quitaste a ellie lo ultimo que le quedaba de el que era tocar guitarra
    Matas a jesse por nada y tommy queda aun peor
    Dejas a ellie sin dina y sin su hijo
    TODO PARA QUE AL FINAL NO MATARA A ABBY ES QUE TREMENDA BASURA
    Pongo 4 porque no seria honesto poner menos el juego es increible en todo lo demas menos en el final aun asi no lo compren el primer de juegos es increible y tiene un final memorable quedense con ese, este juego ni tuvo que existir naughty dog lo arruino luego de 7 años de espera    … Expand

    When I first finished watching the game. I was so mad to naughty dog and Neil Druckman for **** up my favorite game so I took a brake to stop thinking about the game and how bad it was but after thinking for a few weeks I realized that Ellie did not want revenge because she lost Joel but because she did not have a chance to forgive Joel.

During the game we have some flashbacks of Joel and Ellie after the end of The Last of Us she finds out that Joel lied to her about what happened at the Hospital.
    Another we have a flashback near the end of the game that shows us the talk that Ellie and Joel had before the death of Joel and Ellie says I don't think I will never forgive you(for what happened at the Hospital) but I will like to try to. The next day Joel gets murdered that means that Ellie never had a chance to try or forgive Joel. She understand that killing Abby will not change everything because that is not the reason she is mad(because Abby killed Joel). This is my opinion of the game which in my view makes more sense. People will not think the same way as I do but I don't care because everybody has different opinions. I am giving a 10 because I love the story and the graphics and audio are super good.    … Expand

    It's weird that Neil Drugman used 28 hours to teach us that revenge comes with payback. It seems like he doesnot know we knew that already before we play this game and he just kept talking and talking and even making up stories that doesnot even make any sense to pursuade us.
    And *** cheating behind his wife when she is pregnant? Seriously?That's disgusting.

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
